    The game is already a math exercise for min/maxing. Please do not ask for it to become more of a number crunch. If people in your group are not pulling their weight, talk to them. If you complaining about a PUG, then make a party, and try again. If it was purely a number puzzle, it would diminish the game and the role of DPS into little more than grade school arithmetic.

    Going by this and the OP, all I can say is that in this case you're both making it very clear that parsers would turn the game into the MMORPG equivalent of painting by numbers. There's no skill or judgement involved in painting by numbers, just following the numbers. People decry the skill of players already. How will parsers help increase skill when they encourage slavishly following specific rotations and timings - effectively painting by numbers? That reduces the skill needed to that of memorizing a routine and never deviating.
